You Paid What for That?

I know, I know...I've been away far too long. I must admit that I haven't been that inspired by fashion these days. In fact, I am down right disappointed with what I am seeing on the racks if not by the look of it, then certainly by the price of it.

Seems like these days all you need is a yard or so of semi-decent looking fabric and you're free to slap a $$$ high priced hang tag on it - no matter what the creation looks like. From bags to underwear, the prices are steadily increasing while the economy is rapidly decreasing. Even stores like Express and Banana Republic are cashing in at the expense of the working class! Can one even find a pair of decent slacks for less than $100.00? Operative word being decent!

And don't even mention the price of purses...$1,000 is nothing to pay for a purse b/c they're on to upwards of tens of thousands of dollars.

All I can say is when will this madness end? It too much...and even if you can afford it, it is still too much!
